It's worth noting that the canadian retailers are on-side with canadian customers in fighting the levy... to a point. The plan is for all retailers to remove the levy from the "bundled" price of media, so when you buy a 50-pack of blank CD-Rs, it will show something like "$30 - CDRs, + $29 - Levy" on the receipt. Of course, if the retailers fail in the bid to remove the levy, their fallback position is to ally themselves with the CPCC in implementing rigerous border enforcement to stop people from simply buying their media in the US. For all the good it will do.
